GLP Recognised R&D Laboratory

Imtrade Australia operates a Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) laboratory recognised by the National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA), Australia. Registration in 2011 was preceded by more than 3 years of preparatory work as confirmed by NATA, and places Imtrade at the very forefront of pesticide testing in Australia in terms of both capability and integrity. Imtrade is the only GLP recognised test facility in Western Australia, and one of only two companies Australia-wide that also market pesticides.

What is GLP?

Good Laboratory Practice is a quality system applicable to pesticide testing. The purpose of GLP is to promote the development of quality test data and provide a tool to ensure a sound approach to the management of laboratory studies, including conduct, reporting and archiving. The GLP programme is administered by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and is a global standard for ensuring the quality, reliability and integrity and traceability of data.
